The answer depends upon the scar.  If the scar is flat, red and atrophic (thinned) then Fraxel re:store can provide some improvement.  There are other situations when Fraxel may be appropriate, but there are many that it is not.  It would be best to consult with a qualified surgeon who can determine which options would be best.
